1946 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

1946 East 7th Street is a 4-story, 11-unit New Law tenement building located in Sheepshead Bay, built in 1925 and currently owned by Eliot Harary. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with a notable cluster of non-emergency complaints about flooring, doors, and unsanitary conditions in December 2023, as well as multiple emergency complaints during the same period related to stairs, windows, and ceiling problems. As of June 2024, there are open Class C violations concerning defective self-closing doors in apartments C3 and D2, and issues with fire-retardant materials in the basement, while a Class B violation related to public hall repairs from December 2023 has been closed.

The Department of Buildings has issued multiple active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2023, indicating potential safety concerns. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradications recorded in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices. The property has undergone regular inspections and has had several violations issued over the years, including a 2024 violation for failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection.

Previous violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were issued in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with door functionality, stairs, and ceiling conditions, particularly in the basement area. Most recently, in 2024, there are multiple open violations regarding self-closing door mechanisms and fire safety materials that require attention. While the absence of bedbug infestations in recent reports is encouraging, the pattern of maintenance complaints and open violations suggests a need for continued monitoring of building conditions and responsiveness to maintenance issues.
